“For young guys like Matt Dunstone to come out and play the way he’s played at that age … that’s the evolution of our sport.' On the 24-year-old Team Saskatchewan skip who's been the talk of the Brier so far. (via KrRutherford)

KINGSTON, Ont. — Matt Dunstone’s eyes shoot up toward the ceiling: “Ooh,” the Team Saskatchewan skip says, thinking. “I would’ve been really young.”

Curling has been an obsession since before the Winnipeg-born skip can even recall, in part because Dunstone loved to watch his dad, a competitive curler himself. “I don’t remember that far back, but my family told me that’s all I ever talked about as a youngster,” Dunstone said. “My family always saw it in me.”

Team Saskatchewan is still among the top four when it comes to record here, along with Alberta, Newfoundland and the Wild Card squad , and the top four is where you want to be through Friday, because it means you qualify for the semi-final.“He’s amazing, and a really good guy, really talented player,” Alberta third, Darren Moulding, said of Dunstone. “I’ve seen a lot of growth in Matt the last few years playing against him, and obviously we’re going to be battling for years to come with him.
